Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dryer Timer (Part Number: OEM18037746)

1 Answer

Joe, No, it's not likely you need a timer WP8299764 if the timer operates properly on one cycle,but not on another there's a very high chance, you have heat issue, usually a clogged or restricted exhaust vent pipe or vent hood, not a timer issue. On the "auto dry" cycles, the dryer has to reach the proper temperature(155 dgrs.) in order to complete the circuit to the timer motor so the timer can advance. If the temperature isn't correct, the timer won't operate properly.

Hello Brenda. You will need to test the door switch WP3406105 and the dryer thermal fuse WP3392519. The thermal fuse is located on the blower housing and the door switch is located on the front panel. The door switch should read closed for continuity with the door closed and the thermal fuse should read closed for continuity as well. If either on of these are bad, it will prevent the dryer from working. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Roger. It sounds like the coils 279834 are bad on the unit. Check the coils 279834 and see if they test good. You can test the coils using a multi-meter MA-DM1. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. Test the coils after running the dryer for about 10 minutes.

Hello Chris, Sounds like a coil on the safety valve has failed. The kit containing both coils 279834 should cure the issue.

Hello Rena. You will need to test the thermal fuses W11050897, flame sensor WP338906, igniter 279311 and the coils 279834. The thermal fuses, flame sensor and igniter should read closed for continuity. If the dryer is not heating properly, it can cause the timer motor not to receive power. Hope this helps.
